CONSUMEREDGE

Customers ask the hard product question at 11pm. ConsumerEdge gets it right, and sells.

ConsumerEdge is a pre-built flexday.ai solution for brands. It answers product questions on ingredients, materials, specs and certifications, grounded in real data rather than general knowledge, then finishes the job: a purchase, a coupon, a refund, a replacement, with a human in the loop wherever judgment is required. Proven first in Food and Beverage, the same ingestion layer configures to any brand's catalog.

WHAT IT ACTUALLY DOES

Grounded in your product data, not general knowledge

Unlike generic chatbots repurposed for customer support, ConsumerEdge is trained on the nuance each category actually requires. The difference between a plausible-sounding answer and a correct one matters when a customer is asking about an ingredient, a material or a spec, not just a marketing claim.

Allergen & ingredient questionsCertification verificationNutritional informationWhere can I buy thisProduct availability
INGESTION

Brand ingestion layer

Pulls structured product data, ingredients and allergen sources for food and beverage, materials and specs for other categories, so answers are grounded in current, verifiable data rather than a general-purpose model's guess.

ACCURACY

Industrial-grade accuracy

95% accuracy on allergen, ingredient and certification queries in its proven Food and Beverage configuration, the result of an ingestion layer fine-tuned for industrial-grade data processing, recognized with a CIO 100 Award.

CONVERSION

Conversion built in

Every resolved question can carry a Buy Now link, turning a product question into a completed purchase in the same conversation.

FULFILLMENT

Fulfillment, not just answers

When a resolved question should also trigger a coupon, a refund, a replacement or a sample request, ConsumerEdge completes that work in the same conversation instead of routing it to a person by default.

HUMAN IN THE LOOP

Human in the loop by design

Anything that should be judged by a person, a goodwill exception, an escalated complaint, still routes to one. The design decision is which cases reach that point, not whether they can.

GROUNDING

Source-grounded responses

Answers are tied to real product data, not general pattern-matching, so the system says “I don't know” instead of guessing when data isn't available.

USE CASE

Reading a label at 11pm, one F&B brand's version of it

A customer is reading a sports nutrition bar label at 11pm. They spot “casein” on the ingredient list and ask: is this actually non-dairy? Generic AI often gets this wrong; casein is a milk protein, a nuance that trips up chatbots without category-specific training. ConsumerEdge answers correctly, immediately, and can point the customer toward a dairy-free alternative if the product doesn't fit their needs, turning a moment of confusion into a moment of trust. The same pattern, a specific question a generic model gets wrong, holds for any consumer category with real product complexity.

WHY IT'S DIFFERENT

Not generic AI, and built to convert

  • Industry-leading accuracy, a CIO 100 Award for accuracy driven by an ingestion layer fine-tuned for industrial-grade data processing
  • Not generic AI, trained on the nuance each category actually requires, not a general-purpose model repurposed for your industry
  • Answers that convert, designed to turn resolved questions directly into completed purchases, not just close a support ticket

EFFICIENCIES

Support stops re-answering the same question

Support teams stop re-answering the same questions and start focusing on issues that actually require a person. Every accurately answered product question is also a moment of purchase intent; ConsumerEdge is built to convert that moment instead of letting it go cold.
